A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel.'.

A DLL ( cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.

The mother site for Cygwin is According to the developers, 'Cygwin is a Open-source Linux-like environment for Windows. Then we have the third argument which is the programmer you are using, i am using an USBasp programmer.Cygwin (pronounced as SIG-win) = GNU + Cygnus + Windows. The second argument is your filename, but this time do not add the file extension the script handles that. The arduino board has an atmega328p chip, you can use any AVR microcontroller of your choice. This is how we use the 'run' script./run atmega328p blink USBasp

Let's say we want to upload blink.c and we are using an arduino board directly, we are also using a usbasp programmer. $3 is our 3rd argument which is the programmer we are using. Now avrdude burns the code into AVR chip. avrdude -p $1 -c $3 -U flash:w:$2.hex -P usb $2 is our second argument which is the filename. The command above compliles our code, '$1' is our first argument which is the microcontroller we are programming. Our shebang avr-gcc -Wall -g -0s -mmcu=$1 -o $2.bin $2.c We have to create another bash script known as 'run', this script will be taking 3 arguments(the avr microcontroller we are using, the filename and the programmer) This creates a file known as blink.c, this file should have the template of AVR.c. Here is an example of create in action./create blink.c We are done with editing create, save it and close it. This is optional but it will be nice to open our file, immediately after we have created it.

The command renames the filename to our argument.

Remember i said that 'create' takes in one argument, $1 means the first argument of our command this argument is the intended file name, the last thing we want is multiple files having the same filename. This copies our template file to the users home directory. This is the path to the interpreter for 'create' which is bash. Now let's edit 'create', add the following commands line by line. Let's make an empty file called 'create' touch createĬhange the file permission because this will be a BASH script chmod 755 create I will be creating a bash command that will take in one argument(the file name) then create that file having the AVR template. Now we have a template for our AVR codes, all we need to do is to create a new file.
